Divoom Voombox Party Rugged Bluetooth Speaker Review: UNBOXING

As usual, let’s take take a look at the packaging, which does look fancy and inside of it you will find a micro USB cable, AUX cable for non-Bluetooth devices and some documentation.

Divoom Voombox Party Rugged Bluetooth Speaker Review: DESIGN

When it comes to the design, this is not a small Bluetooth speaker as it is about the size of a brick (233L x 54W x 103H mm) and it weighs 3.5 pounds or 1.6kg.

It is very well made and it uses quality metal and rubber materials.

Both sides of the Voombox Party have speakers inside as it uses a combo of whopping 5 sound drivers, which are capable of delivering 20W of sound output.

On the top we have a bunch of very clicky and tactile control buttons, which include volume up/down and call button as the speaker has a mic for hands-free calling. Lastly, there are Bluetooth and power buttons.

On the right there is a flap and underneath it you can find a micro USB port for charging and AUX input for non-Bluetooth devices.

The Voombox speaker also has NFC for easy pairing, which is always a nice feature to have.

Overall, the Divoom Voombox Party is built like I tank and it’s built to last. Also, the IP44 rating gives you solids and liquids protection for the outdoor use. That’s pretty cool.

Divoom Voombox Party Rugged Bluetooth Speaker Review: SOUND QUALITY

20W of sound output that it coming out 5 custom made speakers are freaking loud and the sound is deep and very rich. Also, the built-in subwoofer with dual passive radiators provide a lot of bass that if you boost the bass setting on the equaliser of your player, the speaker will soon start moving.

Divoom Voombox Party Rugged Bluetooth Speaker Review: CONCLUSIONS

So here it is, the Divoom Voombox Party. It is a very powerful Bluetooth speaker that has been made with the outdoor use in mind due to its IP44 rating, which delivers ruggerised and splash-proof properties.

It is well worth $100 considering a high quality construction, 20W of sound output and NFC feature. Regarding connectivity, I found Bluetooth 4.0 working well as I had no range issues.

On the other hand, the playback time when listening to music at around 70% of volume was about 6.5-7 hours, which is not that impressive.

Other con is that the embedded mic does not assure the best call quality. You can make understandable conversations but people on the other end will notice that you are using hands-free immediately.

All in all, despite a few shortcomings, this is a true powerhouse for just under $100 and the VoomBox Party is definitely one of the best rugged and powerful Bluetooth speakers in this price range.
